Local lockdowns will be used in England to stop virus 'flare-ups'
Communities Secretary Robert Jenrick said if the system worked it would be used"on quite a micro level".
Earlier this month Mr Jenrick said that it was the government's"strong preference" for lockdown measures to be lifted uniformly, but some restrictions could be reintroduced locally if necessary. Also speaking during Tuesday's briefing, Prof John Newton, leader of the government's Covid-19 testing programme, said"many different organisations", including councils and local businesses, will be involved in the response to local outbreaks.
Latest government figures show the number of people to die with coronavirus in the UK rose by 134 to 37,048 on Tuesday.
